### Method

# Gio Task run_in_thread_sync

since: 2.36

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    g_task_run_in_thread_sync (
      GTask* task,
      GTaskThreadFunc task_func
    )

#### Description [src]

Runs `task_func` in another thread, and waits for it to return or be cancelled. You can use g_task_propagate_pointer(), etc, afterward to get the result of `task_func`.

See `GTaskThreadFunc` for more details about how `task_func` is handled.

Normally this is used with tasks created with a `NULL` `callback`, but note that even if the task does have a callback, it will not be invoked when `task_func` returns. `GTask:completed` will be set to `TRUE` just before this function returns.

Although GLib currently rate-limits the tasks queued via g_task_run_in_thread_sync(), you should not assume that it will always do this. If you have a very large number of tasks to run, but don’t want them to all run at once, you should only queue a limited number of them at a time.

Available since: 2.36
